Abstract
This article discusses the mechanisms involved in accounting for William Stafford's poem “Traveling Through the Dark.” Part 1 presented the narrative models of Teun van Dijk and William Labov, while Part 2 continues the discussion of Labov's model, introduces Stanley Fish's view of narrative, and relates all three models to Roger Schank's and Robert de Beaugrande's theoretical work on stories. In the conclusion, a number of criteria for the evaluation of narrative theories are suggested.
